Though its name might suggest otherwise, former Barrio Constitución is not a neighbourhood, but a much-loved bar and pub located on Constitución 152, in the centre of Asunción. The building itself adds depth to the venue’s charm: its historic façade is officially recognised as part of the city’s architectural heritage.
Once a traditional family home, the property has been carefully restored and transformed into a picturesque, contemporary bar. The renovation preserved its character, revitalised the property, and unexpectedly granted the interior good acoustics, ideal for the venue’s night-time beats and eclectic music selections.
As Axel Kuster, one of the minds behind the concept, explains, “Barrio Constitución was originally born as a bar, but over the years it changed according to the needs and tastes of our public. There came a point when we no longer fit the description of ‘bar’. We decided to take the step and redefine ourselves as Club Constitución.”
Bringing back the spirit of going out
Club Constitución aims to bring back the communal energy and excitement that once defined Asunción’s nightlife. More than a bar, it serves as a cultural meeting point.
Kuster highlights this mission clearly: “Our idea is to revive Asunción’s nights, to create a meeting point where everyone can come to enjoy, share, and feel part of a community that vibrates with the music, the energy, and the unique experiences we offer every weekend.”
The crowd is a lively mix of people, creating an atmosphere that is youthful and effortlessly social.
Constitución: Heritage meets nightlife
The venue’s restored architecture plays a key role in shaping its ambience. Inside, guests find a spacious, enclosed, and fully air-conditioned interior that balances historic charm with contemporary comfort. The building’s naturally good acoustics enhance both live performances and DJ sets.
For Kuster, one space stands out: “The dance floor is my favourite area. It is where you feel the connection between the audience, the music, and the atmosphere that makes each night different.”
Clear and confident identity
In an increasingly diverse nightlife landscape, Club Constitución remains distinctive thanks to its curated music, themed weekends, and unwavering sense of identity.
As Kuster puts it, “Every weekend we have different themes, tributes, and proposals that keep the club’s essence alive.”
Distinctive drinks and a Legendary Bowl
Alongside its music, Barrio Constitución offers dinner options, an integral part of its appeal. Pizzas and picadas (sharing plates) remain popular choices for groups settling in before the dance floor fills.
Among the drinks, fernet and draught beer remain classics, while the signature Superbowl, a secret-recipe cocktail served in a large communal bowl, has become a favourite among regulars.
Digital Perks: Early Free Passes
Part of the venue’s growing popularity comes from its digital presence. On Club Constitución’s Instagram, visitors are offered free passes for entry before 23:00, available to anyone who registers in advance. These limited-time perks encourage early arrivals and give newcomers a no-cost way to experience the space, before committing to a full night out.
